The Latest from Our Bodies Ourselves

January 2026 Newsletter: Signs of Hope

January 31, 2026

In this issue, we practice what Rebecca Solnit calls the "act of defiance" of finding "good reasons to hope." We highlight four of our latest evidence-based, feminist resources, which all come from a corps of professionals, resolutely investigating and believing in truth. These resources cover the diverse topics of menopause care, healing from sexual trauma, Black birth providers, and demythologizing the hymen. Speaking from our experience breaks silence and stigma, as Jazzmine does in the featured story, about vulvovaginal pain. And our global partners, our interns, and our event partners bear witness to the strength of our community.
